If then statement question....
I use Excel 2000 9.0 as a pruchasing program.
I would like for Excel to recognize which vendor I enter into column c, and then automatically enter who my sales rep is into column J. I also would use this same method to recognize item descriptions in column D and automatically input the respective part numbers. Thanks in advance, |

The feature you are looking for is called VLOOKUP........
Your formula will look something like this......... =VLOOKUP(C1,LISTOFREPS,2,FALSE) Check the Help section, and post back if you run into problems.

I'm sorry, but the first response was not very helpful.
I need an example or two to extrapolate from. I'm not sure how to implement "vlookup". Thanks in advance, "atlcasework" wrote: I use Excel 2000 9.0 as a pruchasing program.

Thank you David,
I have already looked at that particular help file, but I still do not understand. Could you possibly redirect me to a forum where I can obtain some examples, it seems as though I am not in the correct forum for such assistance.

VLOOKUP formulas will pull the data to appropriate cells.
See Debra Dalgleish's site for more on VLOOKUP and Data Validation lists for entering the choices. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlFunctions02.html http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlDataVal01.html Note the section on using DV lists from another worksheet by naming the list. Also note the sample file(s) you can download. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 14 Jan 2008 08:35:02 -0800, atlcasework wrote: I'm sorry, but the first response was not very helpful.
